I will place these buttons in the center of the frame and above each other, like this.
BUTTON
BUTTON
BUTTON
I've searched multiple topics on this forum but everything I tried didn't work for so far. I hope that somebody has the solution.
This is my code for so far:
package ípsen1;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class Paneel extends JPanel implements ActionListener {
Image achtergrond;
private JButton spelHervatten;
private JButton spelOpslaan;
private JButton spelAfsluiten;
public Paneel(){
//buttons
spelHervatten = new JButton("Spel hervatten");
spelHervatten.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(380, 65));
spelOpslaan = new JButton("Spel opslaan");
spelOpslaan.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(380, 65));
spelAfsluiten = new JButton("Spel afsluiten");
spelAfsluiten.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(380, 65));
//object Paneel luistert naar button events
spelAfsluiten.addActionListener(this);
add (spelHervatten);
add (spelOpslaan);
add (spelAfsluiten);
}
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
//achtergrond afbeelding zetten
achtergrond = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("hout.jpg");
//screensize
g.drawImage(achtergrond, 0,0, 1024,768,this);
}
//actie na klik op button
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if(e.getSource() == spelAfsluiten){
System.out.println("Spel afsluiten");
System.exit(0);
}
}
}
You could use a GridBagLayout
setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
gbc.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
add(new JButton("Button"), gbc);
add(new JButton("Button"), gbc);
add(new JButton("Button"), gbc);
add(new JButton("Button"), gbc);
See How to Use GridBagLayout for more details
A BoxLayout might be what you're after. You can specify that you want to add components along the y-axis in the constructor for that particular layout manager.
You could add this line to the constructor of your Paneel
class.
this.setLayout(new BoxLayout(this, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
As for center-aligning everything, I don't know if it's good practice but you can set the horizontal alignment for each of your buttons individually. Example:
spelHervatten.setAlignmentX(CENTER_ALIGNMENT);
Uses a GridLayout
for a single column of buttons of equal width.
The buttons stretch as the window's size increases. To maintain the button size, put the GridLayout
as a single component into a GridBagLayout
with no constraint. It will be centered.
The size of the buttons is increased by setting a margin.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;
/*
* Uses a GridLayout for a single column of buttons of equal width.
* The buttons stretch as the window's size increases. To maintain
* the button size, put the GridLayout as a single component into a
* GridBagLayout with no constraint. It will be centered.
*/
public class CenteredSingleColumnOfButtons {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// the GUI as seen by the user (without frame)
JPanel gui = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,1,10,10));
gui.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(20,30,20,30));
String[] buttonLabels = {
"Spel hervatten",
"Spel opslaan",
"Spel afsluiten"
};
Insets margin = new Insets(20,150,20,150);
JButton b = null;
for (String s : buttonLabels) {
b = new JButton(s);
b.setMargin(margin);
gui.add(b);
}
JFrame f = new JFrame("Centered Single Column of Buttons");
f.add(gui);
// Ensures JVM closes after frame(s) closed and
// all non-daemon threads are finished
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
// See http://stackoverflow.com/a/7143398/418556 for demo.
f.setLocationByPlatform(true);
// ensures the frame is the minimum size it needs to be
// in order display the components within it
f.pack();
f.setMinimumSize(f.getSize());
// should be done last, to avoid flickering, moving,
// resizing artifacts.
f.setVisible(true);
System.out.println(b.getSize());
}
};
// Swing GUIs should be created and updated on the EDT
// http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/concurrency
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
}
}
I thought there is no way to do that.
You should get size of Panel/Frame then calculate manually to find to center position for your button.
Rephrased some parts:
You might want to try to put the buttons in JFrame's "wind direction"-style BorderLayout
: http://www.leepoint.net/notes-java/GUI/layouts/20borderlayout.html
Just create a block in the CENTER
with one EAST
and WEST
block with a certain size around it. Then insert the buttons inside of the center block. If you don't want them to be the full size, just add another EAST
and WEST
.
